    IMO you probably won't get much support for it on here...

    But it's your truck, do what you want, not what everyone else wants! If you want tow mirrors, go for it :thumbsup:

    Do you need them for towing? If so, go for it. If it is just for looks, I wouldn’t do it personally. But at the end of the day, no one else’s opinion should matter. It’s your truck, do what you like.

    Tow mirrors are cool if you tow stuff. I know a fat hillbilly kid who drives around his lifted Dodge with tow mirrors just for looks.

    I have them, keep them folded down except when towing. I find they provide MUCH better visability on the trailer when I am towing.

    I couldn't see crap when towing my 21' camper with the stock mirrors. I bought a pair of these on here in a group buy for a lot less but haven't seen another one.
